Just three weeks ago, Sporting News interviewed coveted offensive tackle Max Tuerk, who didn’t have a scholarship offer from the Trojans yet and said he was “wide open” when it came to schools and would be “taking his time.”

Since that interview, Tuerk was offered by the Trojans, and now he’s on board with the school.

Tuerk is a consensus four-star level recruit who stands 6-6 and weights 280 pounds. He plays at Santa Margarita High School in California, and reports offers from Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska and Notre Dame, along with one from just about every school in the Pac-12.

“Coaches say they really like my speed and my ability to finish blocks,” Tuerk told Sporting News. “My strengths are my aggressiveness and my ability to get lower than guys, even though I’m pretty tall (6-6).”

USC now has eight commitments after picking up Tuerk and RB Jahleel Pinner in the past week.
